Re: Neither the PII nor the PIII were new architectures, so they hardly constitute a reasonable comparison Yes, but the original Pentium was. And it offered performance that was 200% of Intel's fastest chip to that point on integer and 400% on floating point without sacrificing performance compatibility with the installed software base. 2 to 4 times faster on a most applications. Almost never slower on anything. Compare that to P4 that offers, on average, performance little better than the existing previous generation chip on almost the entire installed base of software. And, in particular, that is slower than the older chip on almost all of the most widely used applications (productivity). Dan
